Setup for the Eclipse IDE is optional. See the Eclipse for Daffodil page.
IMPORTANT: You are expected to use the versions of the tools below that are given at Tested/Verified Tool Versions.
You will need to:
- Install Java Software Development Kit aka SDK or JDK. (Note: Not only the Java Runtime Environment or JRE, you need the full JDK)
If you are running Linux, you can choose to use the OpenJDK. Follow the instructions here: http://openjdk.java.net/install/
On either Linux or MS-Windows, you can choose to use the Oracle JDK. The Java Install instructions from Oracle will tell you how to install the JDK for your platform.
- Install SBT
Note: you need sbt even if you intend to do development from an IDE like Eclipse. There are things built using sbt that are necessary for the IDE environment.
You can find SBT installation instructions here: http://www.scala-sbt.org/0.13/docs/index.html
